Playing about with a pattern I had "swimming" around in my head for a few weeks and here they are. Initial Thoughts please!  Black Cuillin  red Cuillin I like the potential for using UV krystal flash (in the tail) and UV straggle on the body and head. Even have the cheek to give them a name  |

Very good kf, the bottom one lookes a bit like the shadow shrimp. No doubt there will be a sameness on a few flies, but that red one has three materials in its tail - Artic fox, UV crystal and Tippets mixed in. The body has a silver tag, UV straggle mid body and UV straggle head. Will try them out on the Nith Saturday. |

You will recall I was experimenting with that UV Straggle thread the other week. Look at the UV Glow of this fly after being in the water. I assume the salmon will see this even better?  |

Did you take any fish on them Kenny? No unfortunatley as the water was really high and got coloured. So it really didn't get a good innings, but I hope to give it a swim over the next few outings that I have left. Will post any success on here  |
